Whats up guys! This is an awesome idea for a forum! I've been in the same Air National Guard unit for 17 years. My name is Aaron and I started out as an F-16 crew chief, then we got BRAC'd and they gave us A-10's. Took a trip to Kandahar with those bad ass planes. I did a short stint as a contractor working on Predators. I "got" to go back to Kandahar with that job, as well as Jalalabad, Shindand (both Afghanistan). I also spent a little time in Kuwait on the way to Djbouti. I tell you what, it's a lot better being deployed as a contractor!
I've been full time with my unit in some sort of fashion since 9/11. Other than my time as a contractor. All as a flightline crew chief until....they took our A-10's away.
We now have an RPA flying mission and two separate Intel missions. This gave me the "opportunity" to become a comm guy. I am now the Information System Security Manager...I have no idea what the hell ok doing! I went to Cyber Security tech school as an E-7 and man this new career field has never made me feel so stupid while having so much responsibility in my life! Yay for me!
I look forward to this forum and being the smartest guy here since I am Air Force.
